Pregnant pigs may be at a higher risk of poor physiological outcomes due to heat exposure compared to mature female pigs that are not pregnant. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stress response of pregnant pigs to increasing environmental…
Castration is a routine procedure performed on beef and dairy operations in the United States. All methods of castration cause pain. The American Veterinary Medical Association and the American Association of Bovine Practitioners recommend that anesthesia…
Understanding the swine female reproductive system is important for solving issues related to reproductive failure and litter size. The oviduct is the site of fertilization. After fertilization, the fertilized egg moves to the uterus for implantation.
Acidosis in feedlot cattle is common, especially during the transition period from high forage to a grain-heavy diet. Nutritionists are consistently looking for alternatives to mitigate the adverse effects associated with this transition.
Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is the cause of 60- to 90% of morbidity and mortality cases in feedlot cattle. Suppose factors associated with an animal first identified with BRD that is also associated with increased mortality risk could be identified.
This experiment aims to investigate an antimicrobial blend consisting of essential oils, medium-chain fatty acids, and a toxin-adsorbing mineral on diarrhea, growth performance, and gut microbiome of newly weaned pigs experimentally infected with a…
With consumers wanting less antibiotic usage in cattle production, the need for natural feed ingredients that have positive effects on animal health are needed.
In today’s production settings, ruminants are provided monotonous feeding environments that do not allow the animals to make feed choices. The objective of the current study was to provide a varied diet of fresh forages (perennial ryegrass, plantain,…
Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is the most economically significant disease for cattle producers in the United States, affecting 16.2% of cattle on feed.
